What happens when you Disable a user (staff/vendors):

revokes login access through username/password/socialplugins
removes them from Approved WO’s they’re assigned to
removes them from PM’s they’re assigned to
removes them from TASKS (PM and WO) they’re assigned to
removes them from any PM TEMPLATES they’re assigned to
hides disabled users from Vendor and Staff drop-down lists (PM, WO, PM Templates)
hides disabled users from multi assign/unassign as well

Using SINGLE SIGN ON (sso)

Steps:

1) Log into Maxpanda CMMS using your usual Maxpanda credentials.

2) Edit user profile.

3) Select Office 365 ‘Add button’ on the top right hand side.

4) Supply Office 365 user id and password credentials.

5) When logging into Maxpanda CMMS the next time, click the office 365 button on the login screen entering your office 365 credentials.

Building & Category Groups

Posted on June 24, 2018August 25, 2018 by admin in Desktop CMMS Documents

Building Groups can be set for each individual SITE or COMPANY WIDE.
Assign each building to a Building Group.
If you don’t assign a Building to s Building Group, it will always appear during the work order filter process.
Assign any user to 1 Building Group or multiple Building Groups.
By doing this they only have access (view work orders) to the buildings in that Building Group.
They can only submit work orders to buildings/locations assigned to that Building Group.
Assign people to multiple Building Groups or buildings or locations. You can really get fine grained here.

Using Category Groups

Admins can expand pre-existing Category Groups within Maxpanda to fit their organization’s requirements. A Category Group can be defined as a main Work Order Category which consists of multiple Sub Categories. For example, PLUMBING may be designated as a CATEGORY GROUP where PLUMBING-WATER, PLUMBING-H20 and PLUMBING-PIPING may be 3 desired sub-categories. The CATEGORY GROUP and SUB CATEGORIES are filtered and searched on most Work Order management pages within Maxpanda CMMS making it quick and easy for any USER to filter and view work solely in a sub-department (category) such as PLUMBING-WATER.

Company Admins may define Work Order Category Groups and Categories within the COMPANY / Work Order Categories menu under COMPANY SETUP.

Maxpanda to Reduce Reactive Maintenance

Posted on June 22, 2018August 25, 2018 by admin in CMMS Articles

Reactive maintenance is planned or unplanned work with a priority designation requiring immediate attention

Reactive Problems

Organizations that are reactive typically do not believe it’s possible to perform work any other way. Overall, they get frustrated. Maybe it’s lack of training or leadership resistance. Either way, it’s affecting worker productivity due to the majority of work being unplanned. Unscheduled work also affects job safety. When workers feel rushed, bad things happen. Lastly, those organizations with poor reliability typically waste 10 percent of their company revenue.

Consider This

Maxpanda asset management software plays a major role in the change that you are about to embark on. Typically, users struggle to leverage CMMS in support of asset reliability, this may be because they need better set of instructions or they’re frightened of using computers and smartphones. This is why we built Maxpanda CMMS as well as GoMAX! Mobile CMMS Assistant. Maxpanda will help you improve the way you create, manage and report on your incoming work orders and your preventative maintenance routines. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or national enterprise, Maxpanda has a price plan to fit your budget. We’re pushing the limits of technology and we want you to be part of the journey. Our Mission is to disrupt the CMMS industry with a platform that’s faster, better, and more affordable. Our Fair Pricing Model: For decades CMMS software has been a race to the bottom with clunky outdated solutions offering far more frustration than value. We wanted to change all that by providing software that just works. We want Maxpanda to be an amazing value for your organization — helpful on-boarding with 24/7 support. Maxpanda is an investment in your team and culture. Our fair pricing model is set at a level that allows us to continuously invest in enhancing a solid product & service while providing the greatest user experience & ROI possible.

Establish a solid preventive maintenance (PM). Establish maintenance strategies using formal reliability centered maintenance for quick and easy analysis. Otherwise, rely on manuals from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and staff experience. A problem arises when that staff retires or manufacturer is out of business. Place emphasis on condition and cost monitoring software, such as Maxpanda CMMS. With early asset defects and identifications, the staff can prevent unplanned breakdowns and collateral damage. By proactively planning needed repairs, your ultimately creating an environment of savings. In support of your Maxpanda CMMS PM program, you should ensure that all maintenance staff members have basic computer knowledge coupled with their maintenance skills.
Synchronize your data with +1000 apps: What does mAPI stand for? mAPI is a proprietary Maxpanda API software specifically developed to securely transfer data from your Maxpanda CMMS database to other software that also operate on highly secure API web protocols. mAPI Software Integration. Join millions of people like you who seek to manage their work orders online, seamlessly integrate preventative maintenance routines on buildings, vehicles, locations, assets and much more into their existing systems.
Establish a amazing reliability team. It helps to have more than one person focused on asset, building, location, warehouse and plant availability. These staff should rely heavily on the CMMS system for failure analysis, as well as decision making pertaining towards any root cause analysis.
Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on worst events to identify the true cause based on the trigger point. Use Maxpanda CMMS by setting metered triggers in addition to PM schedules for each major piece of equipment.
Perform localized inspections where and when needed evaluating specific assets to isolate problems and failures comparing the history through Maxpanda Active Reporting Modules.
Utilize defect elimination techniques, such as brainstorming, quality circles and kaizen events, all of which involve working level and cross-functional group discussions.
Conduct system walk-downs and record problems using your GoMAX! Mobile App as individual staff or groups.
Establish a core team to manage Maxpanda CMMS daily or weekly. Train your staff on the importance of data entry, establish business rules, build standard operating procedures (SOPs), set up mandatory fields and TASKS and conduct periodic audits.
Perform formal job planning to provide sequenced task steps, material/craft requirements, safety/hazard precautions, as well as reference materials and permits. Job instructions help keep workers safe, organized and informed. Job plans also help the craft follow standardized actions to ensure asset performance. The planner role is multifaceted, but key points include a well defined pm & task library.
Create a formal weekly schedule process by selecting the fully planned work that can be relied on by operations, maintenance, warehouse/purchasing, and health, safety and the environment.
Train maintenance staff as well as vendors to not perform self-inflicted reactive maintenance whereby they purposely decide to do unscheduled, low priority work. Schedule all work orders and metered and preventative maintenance in Maxpanda with strict priority settings matching industry standards.

GoMAX! Mobile CMMS Assistant

Posted on June 22, 2018June 22, 2018 by admin in GoMAX Mobile Assistant

The mobile application that Maxpanda offers is a very useful tool for users that you have who are always on the go. These users can go from location to location submitting work orders. In most cases, the main users will be the staff or vendors dealing with the work orders tasks first hand. These users will be simply submitting and completing work orders (ie a machine operator submitting a work order when his/her machine breaks down). Therefore, we have kept our mobile app as simple as possible.

The 4 main functions are:

1. Submit work orders
2. My work orders
3. My to do list
4. Overdue work orders

These functions are completed the same way they are completed on the desktop application. For further instructions on these functions, please see section 5 (work orders).

1. Back button alert on editing the following pages:

Create WO
WO Details
WO Task Edit
Create WO Invoice
Edit WO Invoice
Asset Details

For the above pages if the user makes any changes to any of the input fields and hit the back button without saving the changes, then the user will be prompted to a save the changes. If no change is made to any of the fields then no alert will be shown when the back button is hit.

2. Changes in the Parts module:

For speed optimization GoMAX does not fetch all the parts data such as site list, vendor list and the locations list in the “Review Parts” page. So the data needed to display only are fetched i.e. selected vendor and selected locations.
When a users having user roles like site admin, company admin, company editor, site editor, supervisor unlimited, that have edit permission, clicks on the “Part Details” button a popup is shown. This popup ask the user to “Review this part” by clicking on the “Details” button or the “manage” button.
If the user clicks on the “Details” button then he/she is redirected to the View mode of the part details where the user can only view the details of the part but cannot edit them. Here we fetch part details, selected sites, selected vendor, selected location etc. but leave out location list, vendor list, site list. This much data is enough for the viewing purpose.
If the user clicks on the “Manage” button then he/she is redirected to the Edit mode of the part details where the user can edit the details of the part. Here we fetch all the part data including location list, vendor list, site list for edit purpose.
For staff limited, staff unlimited, vendor limited, vendor unlimited, supervisor limited and viewer, that only have view permission no popup is displayed when user clicks on the Part Details button. The user is directly redirected to the View mode of the part details where the user can only view the details of the part but cannot edit them. GoMAX will fetch the minimum part data such as part details, selected sites, selected vendor, selected location etc… and leave out the entire location list, vendor list, site list. This optimizes data retrieval for customers on 3g and/or slower wifi connections.

Push Notifications auto sent:

To vendors when a WO is assigned to them
To staff when a WO is assigned to them
To supervisor when a WO is created
To staff and vendors when WO is overdue 5. To approver when a PO is created
